Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 992 Grey is a heritage-inspired trainer designed for adults who prioritize a blend of classic aesthetic and functional support for daily walking or light athletic activity. Originally released in 2006 for the brand’s centennial, this model remains a staple for its signature ABZORB stability technology, though users should note that its heavy-duty construction is better suited for casual comfort than high-intensity performance running.

FAQs
Can I use these shoes for long-distance running?
While these shoes were designed with athletic inspiration, they are better suited for casual wear and walking rather than high-mileage performance running.
How do I clean the mesh panels?
Use a mild soap solution with a soft cloth to gently dab the mesh. Ensure they air dry naturally away from heat sources.
What does ABZORB technology do?
ABZORB is a cushioning material that absorbs shock and provides a softer landing, which helps reduce stress on your joints.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The New Balance 992 generally offers a snug, supportive fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the standard width accommodating due to the flexible mesh construction.
How should I store them to maintain their shape?
Stuff the shoes with acid-free tissue paper or use wooden shoe trees to help them retain their structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift debris. Avoid water as it can stain the material.
Odour buildup after daily wear
Remove the insoles to air them out and use a moisture-absorbing shoe tree when not in use.
Loose laces or poor lockdown
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets and use a heel-lock lacing technique if extra security is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 992 stays in optimal condition, proper care is essential due to the delicate nature of suede. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt from the suede portions and wipe the mesh with a slightly damp cloth. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading. When fitting, the 992 typically follows standard adult sizing; always ensure you have a thumb’s width of space at the toe box for maximum comfort during natural foot expansion.
